I am a private client lawyer with extensive experience in immigration litigation, representing individuals and families in a wide range of disputes with the Immigration and Asylum Agency in Portugal. I support clients both in navigating complex immigration procedures directly with the authorities and through the courts. My background in public law strengthens my practice, allowing me to challenge administrative decisions effectively and advocate for clients in complex, rights-based cases at the intersection of immigration and state authority 

My work focuses on representing individuals and families facing immigration challenges before Portuguese authorities and the courts. I have advised clients on complex residency and citizenship matters, often involving urgent legal intervention. 

I regularly assist clients in dealing with the Immigration and Asylum Agency, and I have experience preparing and pursuing legal actions including administrative appeals and judicial reviews. My grounding in public law enables me to approach each matter with a strong understanding of government procedure, administrative fairness, and constitutional rights, which is particularly valuable when challenging decisions that affect rights, freedoms or guarantees of the citizens, residents or visa applicants.
